The GTR is equipped with a 6-cylinder engine that delivers a maximum torque of 588 N·m. It features the VR38DETT 3.8-liter engine paired with a dual-clutch transmission, which can be switched to manual mode. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. The GTR is a sports car with a body structure of a 2-door, 4-seater hardtop coupe. Its dimensions are 4715mm in length, 1895mm in width, and 1371mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. 2. The engine in the GTR is equipped with a continuous variable valve timing intelligent control system. The cylinder head and block are made of aluminum alloy, and the suspension system combines a double-wishbone independent suspension with a multi-link independent suspension.
As a super car enthusiast, the GT-R's engine is definitely a V6 configuration, commonly referred to as a 6-cylinder, with twin turbochargers. When designing the R35 GT-R, Nissan chose this layout because it achieves a perfect balance between high performance and weight, unlike the bulkiness of a V8, yet delivers similar horsepower—easily exceeding 480 hp in the base model and capable of reaching 600 hp. Combined with the all-wheel-drive system, the engine placement enhances handling stability, preventing skidding during turns. I test-drove it once, and the turbo response at launch was so quick it felt like being catapulted, while the fuel consumption remains relatively reasonable for daily use, though it requires premium fuel. Overall, the V6 makes the GT-R the king of value for money, capable of challenging Ferrari V8s on the Nürburgring—truly a divine choice of a car.
